You might want to try Virtual PC. I have used it in the past and it is a pretty good application.

How much ram do you have in your computer? Running a "virtual pc" can require a lot of ram and processing power. You might want to consider upgrading your current computer or buying/building a new one.

You will definatly need more than 64mb of ram. I personally wouldn't try running a virtual machine on anything less than 1.5ghz with 512mb of ram.
